[QUOTE="rgirardi, post: 436535, member: 19437"] I agree for a few hundred dollars and a few tools you can rebuild it yourself. I prefer this option most of the time as you know what you have, and it belongs to your vehicle so no adapting or buying additional parts. One piece of advice to add to the above I have learned after rebuilding many transmissions and transfer cases. Clean the outside of the unit very well, dirt, grease, and other stuff. Pay attention to the nooks and crannies, yes this is before you tear it down. Make sure you have a clean work surface. I like using a big piece of cardboard as the service. Once completely torn down and inspected change out the cardboard for the rebuild. The cardboard absorbs the fluid, protects the parts, and keeps the small parts from bouncing around. [/QUOTE]
